This review is mainly for the sound at the venue. This evaluation is in regards to the reviews left by Bob Johnson and Rudy Navarro. I am the BRIDE- in case that matters for this review. I agree with the DJ in the terms that the music and microphone was low. However, I want to specify that it was extremely low in the areas away from the dance floor. Everyone (with the exception of a few guests) who attended my wedding did state that they could not hear my toasts, what music the DJ was playing, and announcements that may have been said. (And in case the owner tries to show a nest video of our toasts- only the people in the front of us were able to hear them.) AGAIN- this is in the area away from the dance floor. Which frankly isn’t even that far from it. I would like to point out that in the seating area there is only one speaker. And the other two speakers were on the dance floor facing away from the seating area. I felt this is important as Hannah (the person you’ll mainly be in contact with) called after the wedding for input. I suggested showing the volume to potential future couples or putting another speaker (or two) in that seating area. I appreciated that they actually wanted input but it doesn’t change the fact that I had to basically shout my own announcements at my own wedding. And that my guests and myself were able to hear the surrounding parties music louder than our own. I felt the need to leave this review because I felt that the owner was going the wrong way about it. The sound is not being portrayed correctly by the owner. Yes in the video it may SEEM loud. But those speakers are pointing towards that Nest camera. (As seen in their NEST video) And of course people were dancing- there is no way that we wouldn’t try to make the best out of the situation we were given. LASTLY, I would like to reiterate that this review was MAINLY FOR THE SOUND SYSTEM. This review doesn’t reflect my entire experience at the Riverbed Farm. I will post that in a different review under my Husbands account (signed by me) since google only...
Read moreMy wife and I were married at Riverbed on 12.12.21 (and just now got around to posting a review)
I cant say enough about Riverbed but I'll try to keep it concise-- this was an absolute dream venue for us! The staff and Jess especially were wonderful, communicative, welcoming, and helpful the entire day. On the logistical side, there were no issues with sound or lighting and it was easy to get set up. The only downside is that the driveway can be hard to spot for guests and vendors so try to give them a heads up or mark the entrance for them
The grounds were gorgeous and we had more than enough room for everyone to spread out, and ample seating as well. As a bonus, the farm cats were snuggly, if a little thieving, so try not to set out your charcuterie too early if they're prowling. The cats were also easy going around our animal guests, a rabbit and well behaved canine gentleman, and we had no issues with them free roaming and saying hello to everyone. The bartender was kind enough to mix us a batch of my own cocktail design to serve everyone. She had a bar, fridge, and freezer unit at her disposal as well as for event storage, just make sure to bring your own ice! There were also electric plugs available so we could have coffee and tea in the evening.
All in all, Riverbed was an absolute dream. They are everything they promise and there were no hidden fees or unpleasant surprises. All in all we found them to be the best value for an outdoor green venue on the area and are so grateful that we could book with them...
Read moreIf you are okay with the sound, then the Riverbed Farm is an absolutely beautiful place to get married. You can tell they take great care of the farm and have great pride in it. During my wedding planning, I was able to visit the farm multiple times (only during the week) to check out the venue. (Helpful Tip: this is through appointment only). I know I personally went a couple of times to make sure that my table decor would look the way I imagined it. Hannah is the person that I mainly communicated with in terms of all the wedding stuff. She was great and responded in a timely manner when I needed help, had questions, or needed something to get approved. I loved how the venue had different packages when it came to the tap truck (in terms of prices and what it entailed) because it provides multiple budget options that supports all types of wedding wallets! Everyone was in awe of how beautiful the location was. And a BONUS: it has 2 restrooms! Which is definitely needed for the 135 people I invited! My wedding was unfortunately on a very hot day- but the shades that the venue has really helped out. I recommend a Saturday wedding- as I was able to come Friday and do a ceremony rehearsal and move all the furniture ahead of time. Happy venue hunting to all future...
